Jasper man -escapes injury when big rig overturns

By Jo Ross
A 20-year-old Jasper man was
charged with "speed too fast for
conditions" in a June 4 accident on
1-75, the Florida Highway Patrol
said. According to EHP reports,
Philip A. Lee Jr., of Jasper, was
northbound on 1-75 when he lost
control of his vehicle and veered

into the path of a semi tractor-
trailer.
The truck's driver, Terry Reed of
Lithonia, Ga., took evasive action
and traveled onto the northbound
shoulder, reports show. The semi
then overturned, said FHP,
narrowly missing Lee.
No serious injuries were reported.

needed along with better gas
mileage than our previous'

police say was determined to be
Molly (a more potent form of
ecstasy) and a bag containing a
yellow crystal product authorities
say is methamphetamine. Major was
released the following day after
posting a $20,000 bond.
A short nine minutes later, a black
Chevrolet pick-up truck made a U-
turn rather than stop at the
checkpoint, police say. After
stopping the vehicle, Lieutenant
Belote reportedly noted a strong
odor of marijuana and alcohol
within the vehicle. James Nathaniel
Waters, 45, was charged with
knowingly driving with a
suspended license, possession of
: more than 20 grams of marijuana
and with having an open container
of alcohol in his vehicle, records
show. He was released the following
day after posting a $4,000 bond.
About an hour later, Kenneth Alan

Squires, said to be sweating
profusely and appearing to be very
nervous, produced his drivers'
license, but couldn't find his
registration, authorities say. Deputy
Mark Thomas asked him to pull to
the roadside to look for his
registration. Squires, 31, reportedly
began shaking when asked if he had
any contraband in the truck. Squires
allegedly produced a grinder that
contained cannabis (marijuana)
residue. Thomas then began a search
of the vehicle and reportedly found
more marijuana, a plastic bag
containing what appeared to be
psilocybin (mushrooms), hash, a
pack of screens, a glass pipe, a brass
fitting, rolling papers, a cylinder
(bong), a pack of razor blades and 10
packs of cream aerosol (whippets).
Squires was charged with possession
of more than 20 grams of marijuana,
possession with intent to sell
marijuana and possession of a
controlled substance, records show.
He was released from jail after
posting a $15,000 bond.

2008 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report

TOWN OF JENNINGS
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality
water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking
water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water
resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source is drawn ground water from wells. The wells
draw water from the Floridan aquifer. The water is then chlorinated for disinfection purposes.
Th. Department of Environmental Protection has performed a Source Water Assessment on our system. These assessments were
conducted to provide information about any potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells (or surface water intakes).
Potential sources of contamination identified include underground petroleum storage tanks, dry cleaning facilities and wastewater
treatment plants. The assessment results are available on the FDEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at
www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp.
In 2008, the Department of Environmental Protection performed a Source Water Assessment on our system. The assessment was
conducted to provide information about any.potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells. There are six potential
sources of contamination identified for this system with high susceptibility levels. The assessment results. are available on the FDEP
Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp or they canbe obtained from Christy Smith at
Town Hall.
The Town of Jennings routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws, rules, and
regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to
December 31, 2008. Data obtained before January 1, 2008, and presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in
accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations.
This report shows our water quality results and what they mean.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Billy Snipes of the Town of Jennings at
(386) 938-4131. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility.
In the table below, you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the
following definitions:
Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE): An important part of the Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule, (DBPR). The IDSE is
a one-time study conducted by water systems to identify distribution system locations with high concentrations oftrihalomethanes
(THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Water systems will use results from the IDSE, in conjunction with their Stage I DBPR
compliance monitoring data, to select compliance monitoring locationsfor the Stage 2 DBPR.
Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water MCLs are set as close to
the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology:
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no knoivn or
expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant, which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water
system must follow.
Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water There is convincing
evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG: The level of i drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) one pari by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (pg/l) one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample.
Picocurie per liter (pCiL) measure of the radioactivity in water.

Volatile Organic Contaminants*
Discharge from petroleum refrleries
Ethylbenzene (ppb) : 2007 N 4.87 0-487 700 700 .
._rom etirleum factories; discharge
Xylenes (ppb) 08/2008 N 1.99 0-1.99 10 10 rom petrol fie mf es;tdichrage
additional quarterly monitoring performed for.Xylene and Ethylbenzene in 2007 indicated an average result Iess than the MCL for the
contaminants showing no contamination
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant tiornein and young children. Lead in
drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service linesand home plumbing. The Town of Jennings is
responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety f niaterials used in plumbing components. When
your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potentialfor lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to
2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water
tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells.
As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases,
radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
4 ..
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
(A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,.
agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife..
(B) Inorganic contaminants,, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urbanstormwater runoff
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and
residential uses.
(D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
(E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is,safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in
water provided by public water systems., The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in
bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The
presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-
4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons
such a perwins i iti ctaut ir undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or
otherrimmune sys.itemr dtIliode-rs, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice
about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
SCyptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
We at The Town of Jennings would like you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process
and protect our water resources. We are committed to insuring the quality of your water. If you have any questions or concerns
about the information provided, please feel free to call any of the numbers listed. sae.53 -F

What is a hurricane?
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone, the generic term for a low pressure sys-
tem that generally forms in the tropics. A typical cyclone is accompanied by thunder-
storms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise circulation of winds near
the earth's surface.
All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes or tropical
storms. Parts of the Southwest United States and the Pacific Coast experience heavy
rains and floods each year from hurricanes spawned off Mexico. The Atlantic hurri-
cane season lasts from June to November, with the peak season from mid-August to
late October.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several hundred niiles
inland. Winds can exceed 155 miles per hour. Hurricanes and tropical storms can also
spawn tornadoes and microbursts, create storm surges along the coast, and cause ex-
tensive damage from heavy rainfall.
Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central
pressure,-and damage potential (see chart). Category Three and higher hurricanes are
considered major hurricanes, though Categories One and Two are still extremely dan-
gerous and warrant your full attention.

Hurricanes can produce widespread torrential rains. Floods are the deadly and de-
structive result. Slow moving storms and tropical storms moving into mountainous re-
gions tend to produce especially heavy rain. Excessive rain can trigger landslides or
mud slides, especially in mountainous regions. Flash flooding can occur due to in-
tense rainfall. Flooding on rivers and streams may persist for several days or more af-
ter the storm.
Between 1970 and 1999, more people lost their lives from freshwater inland flood-
ing associated with land falling tropical cyclones than from any other weather hazard
related to tropical cyclones.
How are Hurricanes Named?
Since 1953; Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists originated by the
National Hurricane Center and now maintained and updated by an international com-
mittee of the World Meteorological Organization. The lists featured only women's
names until 1979. After that, men's and women's names were alternated. Six lists are
used in rotation. Thus, the 2001 lists will be used again in 2007.
The only time there is a change in the list is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the
continued use of the name would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity. When
this occurs, the name is stricken from the list and another name is selected to replace
it.
Sometimes names are changed. Lorenzo replaced Luis and Michelle replaced Mar-
ilyn.

Evacuation plans
When community evacuations become necessary, local officials provide information
to the public through the media. In some circumstances, other warning methods, such
as sirens or telephone calls, also are used. Additionally, there may be circumstances un-
der which you and your family feel threatened or endangered and you need to leave
your home, school, or workplace to avoid these situations.
The amount of time you have to leave will depend on the hazard. If the event is a
weather condition, such as a hurricane that can be monitored, you might have a day or
two to get ready. However, many disasters allow no time for people to gather even the
most basic necessities, which is why planning ahead is essential.
Evacuation: More Common than You Realize
Evacuations are more common than many people realize. Hundreds of times each
year, transportation and industrial accidents release harmful substances, forcing thou-
sands of people to leave their homes. Fires and floods cause evacuations even more.
frequently. Almost every year, people along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts evacuate in
the face of approaching hurricanes.
Ask local authorities about emergency evacuation routes and see if maps may are
available with evacuation routes marked.

Public Action

What do you do?
If your home is on or near the coastline where the hurricane's destructive forces will
affect it, pay close attention to what the local government and/or police force is rec-
ommending. You should also pay attention to radio and TV stations for the latest in-
formation.
If evacuating your home is recommended:
/ Heed their warning!!
/ Plan ahead where you would go -- it may be beneficial to choose a few
places like an out of town friend's home or a designated shelter, etc.
/ Take the phone numbers of these places with you.
/ Take a road map in case the weather forces you onto unfamiliar roads.
/ Do not drive over standing water, as floods may have damaged the roads.
YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW DEEP THE WATER REALLY IS!!!

,If you are in the path of a
land-falling hurricane, you should
a supply kit containing:

prepare

/ A first aid kit and necessary medications.
v/ Canned food and an opener, as this food lasts for long periods of time
without-needing refrigeration.
/ Plenty of water. (The Red Cross recommends three gallons of water per
person to last three days.)
,/ Flashlights, a battery powered radio, and extra batteries.
/ Raingear, sleeping bags, and protective clothing.
More complete information on this subject as well as how to best prepare your
house for a hurricane can be gathered by contacting your local Red Cross chapter.
PET PLAN
Contact your local veterinarian or animal'shelter for information on preparing
your pets for an emergency.
Animals brought to a pet shelter are required to have; proper identification col-
lar and rabies tag, proper identification on all belongings, a carrier or cage, a
leash, an ample supply of food, water and bowls, any necessary medications, spe-
cific care instructions and news papers or trash bags for clean up.
If you plan to shelter your pet work it into your family disaster plan and evac-
